Not disputing that pits can be quite dangerous, they are only slightly more likely to kill than Rotts.

http://www.dogbitelaw.com/PAGES/statistics.html#Thedogsmostlikelytobite

The most common biters are the Dachshund, Chihuahua, and Jack Russel/Fist...granted their bite is unlikely to be fatal.

Some folks here including our absolutely hilarious comedic squad would favor a banning of pits. mark my word this is just how it starts.

It will result in complete dog registration, outlawing all alpha breeds and total banning in metro areas....which we already have.

Loss of freedom is always incremental and almost impossible to stop after it starts. Look at guns, property rights, freedom of association, cell phone use and smoking just for starters to see where it leads. What's next fast cars, fast motorcycles, helmets for skiing and so forth.

It's amusing to watch conservatives on a liberty site clamor for statist control so readily. Makes it easy to understand how authoritarians get power so easy from their subjects.

And once again, responsible folks..in this case pet owners are punished because irresponsible folks screwup. This is exactly how gun control rose out of the ashes of criminal minority rioting in the 60s and ends up only affecting legal responsible gun owners since the folks the legislators were reacting to don't obey the law anyhow..

Same thing with potentially dangerous dogs....soon everyone will only have Teacup Yorkies....just as an example, no offense to them.
